Episode 169. Eradicating Plague (17)
The explosion that started at the top of the fort quickly spread to the first floor, which is in contact with the ground.
A carefully calculated explosion to amplify and inflict maximum damage on the sea dragon.
The supercomputer used every part of the fortress sparingly.
“Ahhh.”
Urf looked at the crumbling fortress with a bewildered face.
The fortress was the prosperity of mankind and the last bastion.
It was disappearing in vain.
Messiah slapped me on the shoulder.
didn’t say anything else.
I couldn’t
because I had nothing to say.
To be honest, I wanted to say something comforting, but there was nothing to say.
If I had to think about it, it would be something like ‘you are the last bastion of mankind, not a supercomputer’... ... .
It was clear that these words would be a good apricot for the person concerned to hear.
Rather, if I felt bad, I felt bad. that there is nothing good
ah.
Another comforting word came to mind.
“But I caught him with this... ... .”
At the same time, Messiah regretted.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Shouts echoed from the epicenter of the explosion.
***
Rough language kept springing from my brain and my mouth spat it out without filtering it.
“You son of Purkas! Hit it as you see fit! In the meantime, put this monster down and hit it in the back of the head! No, Dantalian bitch! How can I get hold of this!”
The fortress exploded and the sun chewed up the nutmeg as it jumped from the top of the fortress.
It was a complaint rather than anger.
Complaining about the dimensional labyrinth that presents a more difficult situation no matter how well you get through it.
‘perhaps.’
As they go through the dimensional labyrinth, they repeatedly overcome the demon king’s behavior of changing humans for their own desires.
Taeyang even thought that this might be the punishment humans receive.
Punishment for humans who endlessly raised and slaughtered cows, dogs, and pigs for their own selfishness.
Those who neglected other lives for the sake of a few values, such as money and food, are now desperately experiencing the feelings of the other side in the dimensional labyrinth.
Right now, only the sun and limited mankind are using poison poison, but if the sun fails here, all mankind will have to experience this.
Maybe that’s why people call the sun Savior Savior.
to bear their sins instead.
“Damn it.”
Taeyang was a very selfish human being.
I didn’t want to do that for someone I didn’t know.
but... ... I was doing it in conclusion.
his only blood relative.
because of the difference.
I don’t even know where the dimensional labyrinth is.
‘Byeollim, my brother lives so hard.’
Fire.
The residual heat of the explosion licked my skin.
A causal pain, said to be the most painful of all pains, shook the senses of the sun.
Of course it hurts.
Maybe to the point where you want to give up.
But I can’t give up.
The sun didn’t give up.
Even if it’s a waste of what I’ve done so far.
Even if it’s unfair.
Taeyang had to endure the hard times and enjoy the happiness he had pictured in his head.
“Quaaaaaagh!”
The sea dragon, whose extremely hard skin was completely peeled off to reveal bright red flesh, also screamed and twisted itself in the sky.
The screams that expressed pain and despair without filtering seemed to represent Taeyang’s inner thoughts.
“A tough child.”
The sun leaped from the sky, stepping on the debris of the fortress wall.
The anger that had risen to the top of his head faded in an instant.
It’s not that it’s gone, it’s that priorities have changed.
His experience in the age-level labyrinth as a pro gamer implanted in his soul the instinct to fully focus on combat.
The moment the sun jumped into the air, the sea dragon’s body condition was confirmed.
Not only the leather that was completely peeled off, but also the limbs were crushed by the explosion and the resulting heat.
The shape of the pupil of the sea dragon chasing the sun was not clear.
In a short time of a few seconds at zero point, the focus was set and released several times. And my eyelids trembled.
‘If there is a chance to win, it is now. There is no next.’
The explosion obviously dealt him a fatal blow.
The sea dragon’s momentum was still very strong, but compared to before, it was broken.
Whoaaaaaaaaa!
Adjusted the location of the falling fort debris from strong winds.
Easy for the sun to step on and climb.
“Nice sense!”
The right help at the right time.
The sun approached, stepping on chunks of rock.
“How did know?”
“What do you mean?”
“I will choose this stage.”
Dantalian shrugged.
“I didn’t know.”
“I didn’t know.”
under.
Laughter broke out.
Even now that the fucking mudfish situation was over, the deception didn’t stop.
“You guys... ... .”
“That’s what I’m curious about.”
Dantalian looked at Purkas.
As has already been mentioned several times, Purkas is a person who is extremely sensitive to profit and loss calculations.
A demon king who especially hates being harmed.
No matter how much Dantalian provoked him, he threw his hand so coolly.
“I was nervous that they would notice when I made fun of myself for wasting time on my own.”
After the situation passed, Dantalian did the same, just as Purkas read a little of Dantalian’s expression.
“Who are you?”
Dantalian’s eyes flashed.
Although the chimera itself was a valuable weapon, there were only three powers that went into the chimera.
The death of the Chimera does not mean that the Demon King loses his power, but the time required to recover is a problem.
Especially when, like now, the corpse is crushed beyond recognition of its shape and crushed after using all its powers to the fullest.
It was clear that Purkas had been working this time with the intention of sealing his three Powers for a fairly long time.
“I don’t think there are many demon lords who can give you something with a value equivalent to that weapon... ... .”
This time, Purkas kept his mouth shut.
“Are you suddenly going to exercise your right to remain silent?”
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
Soon, Dantalian realized that his mouth, which had been shut tight like Purkas’ clam, would not open.
Purkas is suspicious of Dantalian, but the fact that Dantalian did something directly to Taeyang is only heartbreaking.
There was no evidence.
This means that even if it is publicized, there is a high possibility that it will not be meaningful.
It was the same with Purkas.
If you admit with your mouth that you worked in concert with other demon lords to damage Dantalian’s property, that will soon become evidence.
Purkas is in the same posture as a frightened turtle.
Dantalian gave up the interrogation and shook his head.
“What are you going to do with the power trade?”
Furkas flinches.
It’s a subject that you can’t help but react to, no matter how much you cower.
At the same time, it was also a subject that forced Purkas to relish his failure.
Powers mined in a dimension are unconditionally given priority to the demon king in charge of mining in that dimension.
However, being given priority does not necessarily mean that you can take that authority unconditionally.
“You know, you can’t just take it. Because the reaction of the dimension is formidable.”
dimensional reaction.
It refers to something like the injuries Dantalian received after using his powers on Earth.
‘Dimensional reaction’ occurs when a transcendental person wields power in an uninvited dimension.
This was also the case when mining authority.
Even the dimensional reaction to power mining was incomparably different from wielding power.
Authority, in whatever form it takes, has its owner.
Except for the unusual case of being buried in the ground in the form of energy, the demon king had to make a deal with the owner of the power.
Of course, the transaction itself was not that difficult.
Except for the demon king, most of the owners of powers are mortals.
It is a story of not knowing the value of authority.
In fact, the trade of exchanging diamonds for almonds of the same weight happened casually.
Of course, there are those who recognize the value of some authority, but there are very few such people in each dimension.
Since it was just a matter of attacking the surrounding intelligent bodies, there was almost no difficulty in mining the power of the demon king in a dimension that did not get on the hands of the transcendent.
In fact, the part where Purkas mainly worked hard was to make the technological power called ‘Undead Soldier’ appear in the world.
But now, the owner of that authority has become the sun’s party.
The sun’s party has already told Dantalian the truth about the authority, and of course the deal won’t go smoothly.
“You guys... ... .”
Purkas’s expression frowned.
Because of this situation, the Demon King is extremely reluctant to leak their secrets.
No matter what the situation, the demon king has to suffer as much damage as he uses his power in the dimension, and if ignorant immortals know information about the power, it will be much more difficult for the demon king to invoke power.
“Let’s see.”
“Let’s see. I’m not going to move one step here. Until you make a deal with player Taeyang Yoon.”
Dantalian grinned.
“... ... The other demon lords will not stand still if they openly interfere with the contract with mortals.”
“of course. I know. I only monitor your infidelity.”
Dantalian’s relaxed expression.
It was, of course, the kind of thing that came out because all the preparations were done in advance.
cringe
Purkas, who had gritted his teeth, snapped his fingers with a ‘snap-‘.
At the same time, the sun party was summoned.
The sun is Salomon and the Messiah.
Purkas straightened his back.
Then he told the four players who had just finished fighting.
“Let’s get straight to the point.”
